Two thoughts: Surprising no one, /r/programming has a better sense of humor than Hacker News. The whole thing seems like A+ trolling, but according to backchannel commentary, the devs are sincerely religious.

seems more like "we're letting you stick around, but we want to make sure to let you know that as non-Christians you're second class contributors" to me

it does read that way but I think it was intentional because many prog/woke CoCs read that way as well except for a different religion

sure, but I don't really mind alienating people who think that requiring people to use other's preferred pronouns is equivalent to sharia law. I get that that's how some people feel, but understanding a mindset doesn't mean you need to think it's valid.

very few CoCs have explicitly objectionable content in them. it's the meta-politics surrounding CoCs that is a huge turn off and a big neon flashing danger sign.

sure, and I'm not saying there's nothing to worry about in such cases (shitty people do tag along for social capital on occasion), but as someone not particularly affected an alternate hypothesis might be that you're not really noticing the problem because you're not a target

I'm not really convinced, but perhaps you have a unique perspective on this. Why do you only feel able to share examples privately, out of curiosity?
